Fourteen Points: Tough-o-Meter

    Fourteen Points: Tough-o-Meter

      (4) Base Camp

      Woodrow Wilson just lurved to speak in long, complex sentences. This speech just screams "old-timey speechifying"—it's complex, shows off its knowledge of SAT words, and doesn't seem to aim to pump up the crowd.

      The silver lining? It's extremely short and the list-style makes it easy to break up into manageable chunks.

      Think of it like a Dickens novel. The sentences themselves are kind of meandering, but the structure and story itself is totally easy to tackle.
